Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the attachment of two illuminated signs to the front elevation of the listed building constitutes a contravention of section 9(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990
Whether listed building consent should be granted for the works

What decided it

The new signs are more harmful to the special interest of the listed building than those they replaced, particularly by placing greater focus on the modern extension at the expense of the historic central element, and the public benefits do not outweigh this less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset.
